1 of the great things about conversion routes is you can have a good play even with a bad read. For example, last night we had Go called vs Cover 3 cloud. The CB came down & the seam was open. QB hit the flat but bc he sat it down it allowed him to make the catch and get + yds.

When you think of Hawaii football you have to think about the Run N Shoot. All of their success in past 30 yrs is tied with the shoot. It’s a culture there that trickles down to the high schools too. I’m excited to see what @CoachTimmyChang & @HawaiiFootball do this year!.

The one thing the Run and Shoot has taught me is catering to what the QB likes to throw. I asked my QB what are his top 5 concepts to throw. This allows me to game plan and ensure he has success especially in stressful situations.

The Run N Shoot, & Air Raid, is full of people with unique personalities. Coaches that aren’t afraid to be themselves & do things their way. I can appreciate this bc many coaches think you have to act a certain way as a coach. Don’t be afraid to be yourself & do what you believe.

Teaching route depth off the under coverage is such a unique but extremely effective part of the R&S. If the UC is bailing then the WR should keep working vertical to open up the next WR. This shows up in almost every concept. Would love to see more teams teach it this way.

Draw is a great play in any pass first offense. If you’re running the ball you need to be ready & have answers for a 6 man box. June Jones explains some of the answers they had vs a 4-2 box here.

Speaking of Army. The Ravens just hit the slot fade on it vs the Cowboys. Wideout has a hitch here with wider splits but it’s really the same play. San Jose St also runs Army like this now. It’s important for the slot fade to work wide to outside the college numbers.

What are some drills y’all are doing to help your QB complete the deep ball? Mostly for QBs who are barely overthrowing the wideout.

I love Army & Navy. I have a question for anyone that has experience with these plays. If you get press quarters or 2 man what’s your answer?. I understand the answers vs man, 2, & off CB but I need help with those. Leaning towards Navy now so QB can go backside vs those looks.

I’ve asked this before but want to revisit it. To help your QB make quicker/better decisions do you prefer static looks presnap (no motion) or using motion to make defenders move? Would love to get @kurt13warner thoughts on this.

RT @kurt13warner: When it comes to QB evaluation, I definitely look at the way they throw the ball, but I also know that EVERY QB is going….

It’s important to add the man breaks as a conversion on streak & switch. If the receiver can’t beat the DB deep & his hips are to the sideline then the WR should break to a dig. This is difficult for the DB to cover. Works especially well on the 2nd dig from the slot on switch.

A common belief I’ve bought into before is formations>plays. With the R&S it tends to be the other way around. Very few formations but answers built in with every play. The diversity of defenses now make it difficult to formation them so I’ve shifted to having built in answers.

Notes on Hook that Hawaii & SMU used some under June Jones. Slot is reading the flat defender to sit or run out. Vs Cov 2 the WO will run a comeback in the voided area. Vs cov 3 strong the slot will push vertical. Good concept that has answers vs every coverage.

When running Switch it’s helpful to give your WRs presnap clues to help them make their decisions quicker. Press CB & i/s leverage it’s most likely man breaks (vert or dig). Off CB & o/s it’s likely zone (vert or sit). Also, tell your WRs to not get touched & be decisive.
